The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1887-02-18

The GRAPHIC made ridiculous blum,
der in proof reading, last week. 1t
stated that: "Oficial notices are posted
calling for special election on March 1
for the purpose of bonding Kimball
township for s., 900 to create fund to be
expended in building four story school
building" The item should have read
IS, ,000 in place of "s2 Ooo'' AMI tseo story
in place OF "four-story Mr.. Pattee
says the GRAPHIC did it purposely to
make fun Of the school board. Mr.
Pattee Is bad, bad man, to say such
things.
! There are about 40 insurance compan-
les in am embryo state in Plsnkinton.
The companies include every branch OF
the insurance business and others be-

Prof. Foster is evidently no slouch as
a weather prophet. He predicted big
storms for February. We got en-. He
now says that the last storm in February
will be influenced by the moons passing
over the earth's equator causing an cleo
trical disturbance. The date for the
equatorial storm is February 90 and 25,
the moon and Mercury pass over the
earth's equator. If the storm is on time
it will be most influenced by these events
while it is in the Ohio valley, but if it is
q little late then the greater force will be
manifest in Kansas or the Indian Terri
tory.
1t is an interesting and noteworthy
fact. that in all our four years ncwsps-
per experience in Kimball the only bust
ness mea We have met who could not
afford to take the GRApH1c-so they
said-were both there have been but
two of thcm) loaning money at from to
per cent. . month. Comment is un-
necessary. further than to say, that
such men are veritable leechcs upon q
community. They get all they can and
give nothing back. The names of the
two have never been in the advertising
columns of either Of the Kimball papers.
We will leave it to our readers to guess
who the parties are
| The New York World has for some
time past been receiving subscriptions at
the rate of {, 1000 week, and is unable to
record them as fast at they come in. The
publishers Of its premium United States
History find it impossible to keep within
sight Of the required supply of histories.
This explains the short delay some of our
club subscribers have met with in recev-
ing the paper and the book. The
GRAPHIC has this year sent the World
several hundred subscribers, all Of whom
have received their papers and histories
in due time. Two such pa pera as the
GRAPHIC and the World, with its nicely
bound condensed history of the United
States, all for 30 90, is a marvel of cheap
literature. Subscribe before it is to late

OF the hfty or more who were present
at the social dance AT the opera house
last Saturday evening, ii would be diff
cult to find one who would not pro
nounce it one Of the most delightful af-
fairs OF the kind that ever took place in
Kimball. As previously stated, it was to
all intents and purposes leap year par
ty, and the ladies took full advantage Of
the opportunity offered them. At first
some OF them were little dif1dent, but
soon entered into the spirit of the occa-
sion and sought out their partners with
the utmost sang troid, the gentlemen in
the meantime fully enjoying the novelty
Of the thing. Wall flowers were un-
known, while the gentlemen who could
hardly get a chance to breath were de-
cidedly numerous. The White Lake
orchestra furnished the music. The
ladies eech deserve chrome as big as
the side of a barn.
